A VISION  OF  SERVICE 

On  entering  the  Old  Foreign  ('oneession  in  the  heart 
of  Tokyo  some  fonrieen  years  ago,  one  would  have  found 
a small,  unfinished  cottage  hospital,  nni)ainted,  unplas- 
tered and  without  furniture. 

The  outlook  was  one  to  dam])en  the  ardor  of  even  the 
most  enthusiastic  young  medical  missionary. 

Nothing  hut  a breadth  of  vision  combined  with  steadfast- 
ness of  ])uri)Ose  could  have  transformed  failure  into  suc- 
cess, and  won  inch  by  inch  the  success  and  ])osition  now 


.St.  I.uke’s  First  I )isi)eiisar.v.  opened  in  ItiOl 


,3 


freely  accorded  St.  Luke’s  Hos])ital  throughout  the  Far 
Fast. 

Year  hy  year  advance  was  made,  urged  on  hy  the  very 
l)ressure  of  success.  With  the  purchase  of  adjoining  laud, 
more  huildings  were  erected  and  constantly  the  hos])ital 
and  its  staff  hecame  better  entrenched  in  the  confidence  of 
the  i^eople,  both  Japanese  and  foreign,  until,  were  yon  to 
enter  this  same  section  of  Tokyo  today,  yon  would  find, 
instead  of  the  little  cottage,  a modern  hospital  with  eighty 
beds,  well  furnished  and  eqni})ped,  oi)en  to  rich  and  ])oor 
alike,  irres])ective  of  nationality  or  creed.  The  hospital 
staff  consists  of  three  foreign  and  ten  .Japanese  i)hysi- 
cians.  There  is  a training  school  of  thirty  nurses,  a large 
free  dispensary,  and  a medical  society  of  about  fifty  .Tap- 
anese  members.

THE  IXTEKXATIONAL  ASPECT 

For  the  Japanese: — To  those  of  means  it  offers  jirivate 
rooms  and  the  advantage  of  consultation  with  the  leading 
memhers  of  the  medical  profession  in  Tokyo : an  arrange- 
ment which  does  not  exist  in  any  other  hospital  in  Japan. 

In  the  wards  and  dispensary  it  treats  annually,  without 
charge  and  without  reservation,  thousands  of  the  poor  of 
Tokyo  who  through  its  ministrations  have  come  to  learn 
that  St.  Luke’s  brings  healing  not  only  to  the  body,  hut 
to  the  soul. 

For  the  Foreigner: — St.  Luke’s  has  a special  mission. 
It  offers  the  solution  of  a yirohlem  which  year  by  year  has 
become  more  acute.  In  Tokyo  and  scattered  throughout 
Ja])an  there  are  about  12,000  foreigners.  In  addition,  the 


Sun  Parlor  for  Ward  Patients 


large  resident  foreign  population  of  Korea,  Manchuria 
and  the  China  coast  are  drawn  to  Tokyo,  not  only  by  the 
superior  climatic  conditions,  but  by  tbe  unusual  medical 
advantages  offered.  In  cooperation  with  the  staff  of  St. 
Luke’s  Hospital  the  professors  of  the  medical  and  surgical 
departments  of  the  Imperial  University,  Tokyo,  act  as  con- 
sultants in  their  several  branches  and  thus  offer  the  highest 
professional  standards  olitainable  in  the  Orient.  Tokyo  is 
really  the  logical  place  in  the  Far  East  for  the  establish- 
ment of  this  great  Christian  International  Hospital. 

It  would  mean  much  to  the  traveling  American  or  Euro- 
pean if  taken  ill  to  find  such  an  institution  in  the  heart  of 
the  Japanese  empire. 


THE  PKESEXT  SITE  INADEQUATE 


St.  Luke’s  has  readied  the  limit  of  its  growth  ui)OU  the 
present  site.  From  all  sides  comes  tlie  demand  that  the 
success  of  the  work  and  its  iutluence  shall  he  i)ushed  to  a 
much  larger  issue.  The  ]ieo])le,  both  Jajianese  and  foreign, 
desire,  and  the  (lovernment  has  ajiproved  the  ])lan  as  out- 
lined for  the  new  institution.  Kepresentative  men  of  every 
circle,  business,  professional  and  official,  have  endorsed  it. 
The  opportunities  which  it  presents  for  effective  service 
seem  to  demand  it.  To  meet  this  need  and  to  build  firmly 
and  adequately  for  the  future  the  refusal  of  a magnificent 
piece  of  land  embracing  seven  acres  has  been  secured.  Tt 
is  amply  sufficient  for  the  great  institution  which  in  the 
future  will  develoj)  upon  it. 

Leading  Ja]ianese  statesmen  like 
Prince  Katsura,  the  late  Prime 
Minister  Baron  Kato,  ^Minister  of 
Foreign  Atfairs,  Viscount  Aoki 
and  Baron  Goto,  a Gahinet  Minis- 
ter, have  ex]u-essed  the  deejiest  in- 
terest and  definitely  promised  finan- 
cial assistance.  Baron  Goto  otfers 
unconditionally  at  least  $25,000  for 
the  new  hos]utal. 

A hill  is  to  he  ])re- 
sented  to  the  Tokyo 
iNfuniciiial  Assemlily 
requesting  a grant 
of  $50,000  for  St. 

Luke’s.  The  pres- 
ent Z\Iayor,  Baron 
S a k a t a i and  ex- 

^fayor  Ozaki  are  Head  >>’ui'se 


among  its  chief  supporters.  Organized  etfort  is  also  being 
made  to  secure  a grant  from  the  Imperial  Household,  which 
will  most  probably  meet  with  success.  AVithout  exception, 
the  leading  Japanese  physicians  and  the  diplomatic  repre- 
sentatives of  foreign  countries  hack  the  enterprise.  There 
is  an  international  eagerness  for  its  inception. 

This  plan  for  a greater  St.  Luke’s  has  received  in  Japan 
really  extraordinari/  endorsement.  That  very  rarely  ex- 
tended honor.  Imperial  patronage,  is  j)roniised,  and  prac- 
tically every  prominent  statesman  in  the  country  has  given 
his  approval  and  ])ledged  cooperation.

TIIK  C^riHrSTIAX  AIOTEVE 


The  growth  and  development  of  St.  Luke’s  is  the  exi)res- 
sion  of  the  ideals  of  the  individual,  aud  its  very  sueeess  is 
proof  of  the  wisdom  of  the  plan  now  under  eonstruetion. 
The  C’hureh  of  Japan  has  never  before  had  sueh  an  opi)or- 
tunity  ])resented.  It  is  a ehallenge  to  our  C’hristianity  that 
we  meet  liberally  and  i)romi)tly  the  generous  offers  already 
made  by  the  Japanese  themselves. 

Certainly  Dr.  Teusler  and  Dr.  Bliss  deserve  the  supi)ort 
not  only  of  their  fellow  ehurehmen,  hut  of  their  fellow  coun- 
trymen. i\[any  of  them  have  already  availed  themselves 
in  time  of  urgent  need  of  the  facilities  of  St.  Luke’s  aud 
the  skill  of  its  staff.  We  may  set  aside  the  fact  that  these 
two  men  are  every  year  contributing  to  the  maintenance 
of  the  hospital  many  thousand  dollars,  not  merely  in  serv- 
ice for  which  the  missionary  salary  is  no  com])ensation,  hut 
in  actual  money  earned  l)y  them  in  practice  outside  of  the 
hos])ital.  In  their  position  in  St.  Luke’s  Hospital  and  ])ul)- 
lic  life  in  Tokyo  these  two  physicians  are  interpreting  to 
the  Japanese  all  that  is  best  in  the  medical  and  scientific 
life  of  the  United  States.  As  the  friends  and  heliiers  of 
many  Jai)anese  they  are  revealing  to  the  nation  the  vital 
things  that  lie  at  the  foundation  of  American  life.  Chris- 
tianity’s message  to  the  men  of  other  faiths  has  nowhere 
found  more  effective  delivery  than  through  the  friendly 
voice  and  kindly  hands  of  St.  Luke’s,  set  down  in  Tokyo, 
to  minister  alike  to  Japanese  and  foreigm  r.  Its  unique 
position,  its  splendid  ex]iansion  and  its  newer  aims  broaden 
and  diversify  the  ]>ower  of  its  expression. 

The  Christianity,  which  sup])lements  and  proves  faith  by 
works  and  makes  living  and  real  the  charity  which  it 
preaches,  is  everywhere  the  most  effecuive,  and  so  it  has 
l)een  with  St.  Luke’s,  which  to  thousands  of  .la]ianese  is 
the  ideal  inter])retation  and  ex])ression  of  the  creed  which 


9 


it  represents.  Its  friendly  doors  liave  always  been  open 
to  them  in  pain  and  distress  and  their  gratitude  has  been 
wide  and  enduring.

ENDORSEMENT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  MISSIONS 
AND  GENERAL  CONVENTION  • 

The  Board  of  ^Missions  has  officially  endorsed  this  appeal. 
The  House  of  Bishops  and  Lay  Deputies  at  Joint  Session 
in  General  Convention  freely  approved  the  plan,  and  the 
enclosed  resolution  offered  by  Bishop  Brent  was  carried 
unanimously.

THE  IMMEDIATE  NEED 

First  i)t'  all.  money  must  be  obtained  to  })urohase  the  land  and 
erect  two  buddinji's  for  immediate  use.  iMcanwliile  the  work  of  bt. 
Imke's  will  continue  on  its  present  site  undisturbed.  $-.^50,000  is 
the  minimum  sum  with  which  this  can  be  done.  Of  this  amount  at 
least  .$100,00(1  should  be  given  by  our  ('hun-h  before  Easter.  1014. 
Id.l.OOO  is  already  assured.  Gifts,  large  or  small,  are  most  'svelcome, 
and  it  is  rcr//  iiii portant  that  the  people  of  the  Church  throughout 
America  should  share  in  this  privilege  of  building  in  Tokyo  this 
sjdendid  monument  to  C'hristian  faith,  for  the  continual  s])iritual 
intluence  of  the  work. 

Confideut  that  the  people  of  the  Church  will  resjiond  because  the 
need  is  acute  and  the  means  of  relief  are  in  comjietent  hands,  the 
Council  makes  the  appeal  for  assistance.

Divided  as  follows: 

1.  The  land,  $-h)0,000. 

2.  Administration  Building,  $25,000.

9.  Three  Besidences  for  the  i\Iedical  Staff,  $10,000. 

“IT  IS  NOT  NECESSARY  TO  COMPLETE  THE  PLANT  AT  ONCE.

WITH  A HOME  FOR  NURSES  AND  A SERVICE  BUILDING,  BE 
ERECTED  BY  THE  AUTUMN  OF  1914.  THIS  WOULD  MEAN  AN
